Situated in the Herault region, close to the Mediterranean Sea, the Domaine de Mont Auriol once was a Royal Estate and has belonged to the Sarret family for thirteen generations. Of the 350 hectares of the estate, 110 hectares are planted with vines. The vineyard is spread across a chain of hills that face south over the Golfe du Lion.The vines grow on a canopy. No herbicides are used, but organic fertilizers with biodynamic culture. A mechanical harvest is carried out and total de-stemming. Maceration is made in stainless steel, concrete and fibre glass vats. All wines benefit from being bottled at the domain using their own on site plant.
A beautiful golden yellow colour which gives a delicate nose with apricot and white lilac flavour. The mouth reveals beautiful yellow fruits and exotic fruits notes. The aftertaste leaves a nice heat and languorous flavours of roasted almonds.
Can be served with fish terrine, prawn risotto or meat based starters. It will also enhance dry cheese and any creamy dish.
A very easy style of viognier, perfect for light dishes.
